A review of literature on music therapy by Koelsch (2009) reveals music can automatically capture attention and may distract thought from negative experiences such as pain, anxiety, worry and sadness. Dopamine is a feel-good chemical with a neurotransmitter associated with the pleasure system of the brain. It is responsible for both motivation and addiction. Even anticipating the sound of music is known to trigger the release of dopamine, according to a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience (2011).
